A heavy cavalry unit designed for rapid reaction to a shifting battle, the '''Condor''' is one of the few heavy hover tanks available. Although expensive to buy and to maintain, this immense hovercraft is capable of a flank speed of 129 km/h and a cruising speed of 86 km/h, making it one of the fastest vehicles in its weight class and as fast as the speediest 'Mechs and vehicles. Six tons of StarSlab/9.5 Mk II armor give the Condor considerable protection for its role, though the bulk is concentrated on the front and turret, notably weakening the sides.<ref name=TRO3039p60-61/>

Introduced a few short years before the formation of the original [[Star League]], the Condor remained one of [[Red Devil Industries]] main sellers for centuries and was widely distributed across the [[Inner Sphere]], with the militaries of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], [[Federated Suns]] and [[Capellan Confederation]] fielding the majority during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. With the loss of Red Devil's factories with the capture of [[Pandora]] by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in [[3064]], the design was secured by [[Quikscell Company]], who developed an advanced new-tech refresh of the venerable and still highly popular design, even selling the unassembled components of the tank in kit form in effort to keep up with demand.b These "flat-packs" usually work fine once properly assembled, but often leave behind a small pile of apparently unnecessary parts.<ref name=TRO3039p60-61/>
